✦ Synopsis

In 1715 France had a sizeable overseas empire in America, Africa and Asia. These colonies were garrisoned by thousands of regular officers and soldiers who belonged to the Navy's colonial establishment or by the French East India Company's troops. These troops are not usually covered in histories of the French forces. Yet, since the end of the 17th century, they saw considerable action against the enemy overseas. Much of the information presented by RenГ© Chartrand in this last volume in a series of five [Men-at-Arms 296, 302, 304, 308 & 313], is entirely new and abstracted from considerable historical data.
